1957 Map of Leonard

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a sweeping arc through this landscape, separating the lowlands of Kadashan Bottom and Willow Springs from the steep elevations of the Conjada Mountains. The settlement of Leonard serves as a local hub near the bend in the river, situated along the tracks of the Midland Valley railroad. This 1957 field-checked survey reveals an economy deeply tied to natural resources, with an expansive Oil and Gas Field and numerous individual oil wells dotting the terrain between the river and the southern hills. Rural social infrastructure is well-defined, including the Leonard Sch and Vernon Sch, alongside community landmarks like the Church of God and Simmons Cem. The complex jurisdictional boundaries where Tulsa, Wagoner, and Okmulgee counties meet are clearly delineated across the southern portion of the map near Stone Bluff.
